[Verse 1]
G Am D7 We had an apartment in the city, G Am D7 Me and Loretta liked living there. Bm/D C Well, it'd been years since the kids had grown, G D/F# A life of their own, left us alone. G Am D7 John and Linda live in Omaha, G Am D7 And Joe is somewhere on the road. Bm/D C We lost Davy in the Korean war, G D/F# And I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore.
[Chorus]
F G Ya know that old trees just grow stronger, F G And old rivers grow wilder every day. Bm/D C Old people just grow lonesome G D/F# G Waiting for someone to say Hello in there, hello.

[Verse 2]
G Am D7 Me and Loretta we don't talk much more, G Am D7 She sits and stares through the back door screen. Bm/D C And all the news just repeats itself G D/F# Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen. G Am D7 Someday I'll go and call up Rudy, G Am D7 We worked together at the factory. Bm/D C What could I say if he asks What's new? G D/F# Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do.
[Chorus]
F G Ya know that old trees just grow stronger, F G And old rivers grow wilder every day. Bm/D C Old people just grow lonesome G D/F# G Waiting for someone to say Hello in there, hello.
[Verse 3]
G Am D7 So if you're walking down the street sometime G Am D7 And spot some hollow ancient eyes, Bm/D C Please don't just pass them by and stare G D G As if you didn't care, say Hello in there, hello
